Summary/Abstract: In the present mini-report we will describe some basic aspects regarding the current state of knowledge for the pain sensibility and manifestations in most of the neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as our previous experience in this understudied area of research. Moreover, considering the ever increased interest in the pro-social and increased affiliation effects of intranasal oxytocin, as a possible therapeutical agent in the specific neuropsychiatric disorders where a social component is somehow affected, we will describe also if there is possible correlation between pain perception, oxytocin and most of these neuropsychiatric manifestations.
